[videoblogging] Re: YouTube versus Blip.TV quality

2009-08-23 Thread pageflex2001 
Too bad Blip does not support embedding true 720P HD in H.264 format. I love 
the way Youtube handles it in all aspects, playback/embedding etc. Though Blip 
claims it does support it, it is not really possible to embed this format 
unless viewed in Quicktime browser plugin without playback controls.

Am I the only one to notice that or can anyone second that?

Thanks

Mike,
That is very good to know.  I've only just started using the cross posting to 
other services since you guys launched it and I will defintely be using that 
feature more..  On another note, I continue to be impressed with the service 
that Blip provides to even the little guys.  Keep up the good work.

2009-08-20 Thread ratbagradio 
Is there a feature by feature comparison available anywhere broader than the  
one on Wikipedia?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_services
The entry is very useful but maybe there are a  few columns of interest missing 
such as posting to off site urls, aggregation options, channel players, RSS 
feeds, etc.

On regard to sites, I've just gone back using the Miro player -- the old 
Democracy Player on my desktop --
http://www.getmiro.com/
and the visual experience is excellent.Top quality tv.  As well, the platform 
isn't as clunky as it was a few years back. It still has a great access & open 
philosophy to its services.So if you are touting your feed don't forget Miro.

Hey Chad! You might take a look at this page for YouTube -

It's what they recommend you upload for the best quality... something to

2009-08-20 Thread Chad Boeninger 
Just to test, I uploaded and FLV file to YouTube. Here's the version that
YouTube rendered  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv4YbxYHJM0

and here is the version that I uploaded as an FLV to YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CR-Ra4eAcw . You can fast forward to the
middle part of each video to compare the clarity of the screencasts.

I guess when doing screencasting with YouTuve, it pays to convert to FLV
locally before uploading to YouTube.

Just so you know, I converted the original 640x480 mp4 to FLV 640x480 with
the free Quick Media Converter software. I used the easy settings on QMC.

For the sake of comparison, I also uploaded an FLV version to Blip.  The FLV
is here http://bizresearchbasics.blip.tv/file/2496646/
and the original is at http://bizresearchbasics.blip.tv/file/2493638/ .  I
can't tell a difference between the two, so Blip evidently handles the
screencasts better with the native files than YouTube.
